Serials Solutions, a US-based provider of tools and services for libraries, has announced that Chalmers University of Technology is the first institution in Sweden to adopt the Summon web-scale discovery service in its library.
Chalmers, an acclaimed university for technology, natural science and architecture, has a full-time enrollment of more 11,000 students. Its library system provides a central resource for information support to Chalmers students, researchers, teachers and other staff.
The Summon service has been adopted by over 120 libraries worldwide. It delivers simple, easy and fast access to high-quality library content. The service was built purposefully and specifically for web-scale discovery with a single index to provide the coverage, speed and relevant results that net-generation researchers expect. The Summon service claims to be the most customisable and configurable discovery option for libraries with an implementation process that is fast and painless.
The Chalmers Library includes the Main and Architecture Libraries at the Johanneberg campus and the Lindholmen Library at the Lindholmen campus.
